Potchefstroom notes on fitting & restoration

Older houses near the Mooi River and the central streets often have suspended pine or parquet worth restoring. Sanding and sealing can bring it back, but loose blocks and gaps need repair first. Student digs in Mohadin and Baillie Park are usually refitted during the long break, so book early. Church halls and school rooms may call for dustless sanding to keep other rooms in use.

Potchefstroom: climate, homes and floors

Potchefstroom is a university and farming town on the Mooi River, with oak-lined streets and some of the oldest buildings in the province. The climate is dry Highveld, with cold, dry winters and storms in summer. A big part of the housing is student accommodation, from converted older houses to purpose-built blocks around the campus in Baillie Park and Van der Hoff Park. Landlords want tough floors that survive turnover, while owners of older homes ask for sanding and restoration of pine and parquet. Church halls, schools and small guesthouses add institutional work through the year.
